A Midsummer Night in Dreamer's Bay, Cyprus

Dr Lucy Blue speaks with a number of team members working under the direction of Professor of Simon James at the site of Dreamer’s Bay on the southern tip of Akrotiri Peninsula in Cyprus.  At this ancient port complex discoveries range from an ancient mole – or massive stone breakwater, a wreck with a cargo of tiles, and stone anchors among other remains possibly dating to the Roman or Byzantine periods.  The site poses many questions, including why the breakwater is where it is and what was the relative sea level would have been.  By comparing it to other ancient harbours in Cyprus can these and other questions be answered?
